We report that epitaxial Sr2IrO4 thin-films can be selectively grown using pulsed laser deposition (PLD). Due to the competition between the Ruddlesden-Popper phases of strontium iridates (Sr_{n+1}Ir_{n}O_{3n+1}), conventional PLD methods…

The subtle balance of electronic correlations, crystal field splitting and spin--orbit coupling in layered Ir$^{4+}$ oxides can give rise to novel electronic and magnetic phases. Experimental progress in this field relies on the synthesis…

High quality epitaxial thin-films of EuTiO3 have been grown on the (001) surface of SrTiO3 using pulsed laser deposition. In situ x-ray reflectivity measurements reveal that the growth is two-dimensional and enable real-time monitoring of…

An experimental study was conducted on controlling the growth mode of La0.7Sr0.3MnO3 thin films on SrTiO3 substrates using pulsed laser deposition (PLD) by tuning growth temperature, pressure and laser fluence. Different thin film…

The surface structure of SrTiO3(001) thin films homoepitaxially grown by PLD in step-flow mode was characterized using low temperature STM. It was found that one-dimensional (1D) TiOx-based nanostructures were formed on the thin film…

Control of thin film stoichiometry is of primary relevance to achieve desired functionality. Pulsed laser deposition ablating from binary-oxide targets (sequential deposition) can be applied to precisely control the film composition,…

The LaAlO3/SrTiO3 (001) thin film materials system was studied using in situ, simultaneous x-ray diffuse scattering and specular reflectivity during pulsed laser deposition. Using this method, we are able to measure the time dependence of…

Two-dimensional materials have attracted growing interest due to their unique electronic properties and potential applications in spintronics. Interfacing strongly spin-orbit-coupled chalcogenides with functional oxides such as perovskites…

We have studied the growth dynamics and electronic properties of SrTiO3-d homoepitaxial films by pulsed laser deposition. We find the two dominant factors determining the growth mode are the kinetics of surface crystallization and…

We report on growth-mode transitions in the growth of SrRuO3 thin films on atomically flat Ti4+ single-terminated SrTiO3 (111) substrates, investigated by reflection high-energy electron diffraction and atomic force microscopy. Over the…

Complex oxide perovskites have been widely studied for their diverse functional properties. When dimensionally reduced to epitaxial thin films and heterostructures these properties are frequently tunable, and the symmetry-breaking inherent…

Homogeneous highly epitaxial LaSrMnO3 (LSMO) thin films have been grown on Yttria-stabilized-Zirconia (YsZ) / CeO2 buffer layers on technological relevant 4" silicon wafers using a Twente Solid State Technology B.V. (TSST) developed large…

We report bulk-quality n-type SrTiO3 (n-SrTiO3) thin films fabricated by pulsed laser deposition, with electron mobility as high as 6600 cm2 V-1 s-1 at 2 K and carrier density as low as 2.0 x 10^18cm-3 (~ 0.02 at. %), far exceeding previous…

We report the growth of thin films of Sr1-xCaxRuO3 on SrTiO3 and MgO substrates by metalorganic aerosol deposition. The structure and microstructure is characterized by X-ray diffraction and room-temperature scanning tunnelling microscopy…

We report on a systematic study of the growth of epitaxial TiO2 films deposited by pulsed laser deposition on Ti-terminated (001) SrTiO3 single crystals. By using in-situ reflection high energy electron diffraction, low energy electron…

Pulsed laser epitaxial growth is characterized by high instantaneous deposition rates that leads to the nucleation of transient islands, both on surface terraces, and on top of stable islands formed during previous deposition pulses. We…

The functional properties of devices based on perovskite oxides depend strongly on the growth modes that dramatically affect surface morphology and microstructure of the hetero-structured thin films. To achieve atomically flat surface…

We have investigated the atomically-resolved substrate and homoepitaxial thin film surfaces of SrTiO3(001) using low-temperature scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy (STM/STS) combined with pulsed laser deposition (PLD). It was found…

Desorption of deposited species plays a role in determining the evolution of surface morphology during crystal growth when the desorption time constant is short compared to the time to diffuse to a defect site, step edge or kink. However,…

Thin films of Fe(1+delta)Se(1-x)Te(x) (delta ~ 0.18 & x ~ 0.5) have been successfully grown on (100) oriented single crystalline SrTiO3 and LaAlO3 substrates by pulsed laser deposition. The crystal structure was characterized by x-ray…
